Here are THREE different uses for your Tim Holtz Distress Oxide!!
USE #1: STAMPING
Use Distress Oxide as a normal stamping ink! Pictured Inks
USE #2: BLENDING
Supplies Needed: Distress Oxide, Tim Holtz Ink Blender (Mini), Watercolor paper. (Optional)
Using your Ink Blender, pick up some ink and work it onto your paper in small circles.
Cover around half the paper.
Choose another color and cover the other half in the same way.
For added effect. Spray with a little water. The dye ink is water reactive. Blot with a paper towel to remove extra water or heat with a heat dryer.

Smear ink from pad directly onto wax paper.

Pick up Ink using the Paintbrush, just like you would with watercolor.
Then Paint!!!

BONUS: SMUSH METHOD
Supplies: Watercolor Paper, Ink, Wax Paper. Use the first few steps from The Watercolor Method (up to spraying the ink with Water).

Press Paper into Ink.
Flip Paper over and blot of the excess water. Use heat dryer or let dry.
